The matter of work at Frankton school grounds was left _ in the chairman’s hands to deal with. It was decided to grant a whole holiday for the children of both schools today, Show Day. RAGLAN This has been one of the wettest weeks of a particularly wet season. On the night of Sunday, 10th inst., the fall during the hours of darkness was something like four inches. TLe creeks have been in high flood and landslips and washouts have been frequent occurrences. Properties in the neighbourhood are continually changing hands, the latest sales being that of Mr Fred Moore’s place at Te Uku, and Mr Mclndoe’s place at Karioi, the former finding a purchaser in the person of Mr W, Leakey, and the latter passing into the possession of Mr R. Nicholson, of Te Mata. Although the weather has been consistently cold, the constant rain has kept the grass growing, and the succulent feed appears to have suited dairy stock amazingly, judging by the rapid rise in the supply of butter fat al the local factory. Great difficulties have been experienced by the agriculturists this spring, and many of them have not yet finished oat sowing. The mangel crop will also be lute, as it is almost impossible to work the ground with rain falling more or less every day. Mr R. Brown, who has got the job of working the road grader at the Raglan end of the county, took that useful implement over the mountain on Saturday and will make a start as soon as the weather is fine enough. Sheep shearing will soon bo general. Those who have already started are finding it a slow and tedious operation, nor are the shearers in much bettor plight, as big cheques will probably be the exception rather than the rule this year, unless an early improvement takes place. The following have been appointed to act a judges at the Raglan Horticultural Society’s exhibition on the 27th inat: —Cut flowers, pot plants and bouquets, Mesdames Allen Bell and H. I. Biggs; vegetables and fruit, Mr Polcbet; bread and Mrs Harrow; dairy produce, Mr G T. Vile; needlework and miscellaneous, 1 Mesdames Allen Bell and A. Smith; children’s garden, Messrs D, C. Potts and J. O’Sullivan. Mrs E. Wallis undertook the arrangements for a musical programme for the evening, ami also for the competitions.
